quotes

 

 

 

Dr. Richard Cox - After watching a demonstration of Chum Sut Wing Tzun I was most impressed by the fact that the skills required had certain features build in which many other activities have to add on to their training.  For instance the skills involved in Visualisation & Differential Relaxation were clearly demonstrated as were other such skills as Kinesthesis and Auditium. 

 

The Degree of physical fitness to execute many othe the routines was also very impressive.  As a form of self-defence combined with attack this particular form of martial art is unique and obviously superior to many others.

 

Dr. Malcolm Fairweather - Every so often I observe coaches and/or athletes who via their practice seem to express a natural insight into skilled theory and research when addressing their own skill learning issues. One coach who exlemplifies this intuitive understanding is Si-fu Thomas Lamont.   

 

Thomas employes a variety of instructional methods that are most impressive.  Watching him teach I observed the development of autonomy in the individuals he was teaching. 

 

Thomas appeared to be tapping into systems of development that research and theory have only just acknowledged, his teaching and training reflected the most recent thinking in the skill learning areas.

 

Thomas Lamont - Chum Sut literally means 'Seek Truth' and the ultimate truth in any form of martial art or training is does it work, does it do the job it was designed for whether in competition or in a self-defence situation. 

 

Chum Sut however is also a very personal experience and each student will be seeking their own truth through the various martial arts taught at the academy (place of learning). 

 

The Chum Sut training has be designed to maximise the scientific performance variables taught to the student while encouraging and developing their integrity and flair.  This allows the dedicated student to maximise their potential during performances in the applied areas of self-defence or competition. 

 

Great care and attention has been paid to detail concerning the education of the student who will gain specific knowledge as to their performance teaching them both the 'Art and Science of Combat' as they progress through the system.
